Summary:
Guha explores the fight for Indian independence by focusing on foreigners to India who across the late 19th to late 20th century arrived to join the freedom movement fighting for independence from British colonial rule. Four were British, two American, and one Irish. Four men, three women. Before and after being jailed or deported they did remarkable and pioneering work in a variety of fields: journalism, social reform, education, the emancipation of women, environmentalism. Guha tells their stories: each motivated by idealism and genuine sacrifice; each connected to Gandhi in some way; each leaving a profound impact on the region in which they worked, their legacies continuing through the institutions they founded and the generations and individuals they inspired. -- adapted from jacket
